Jane Doe is a transgender youth, born male, and identifies as female.


Wednesday, July 30 @ 5:30 PM
DCF Headquarters - 505 Hudson St., Hartford, CT

CT DCF's torment of Jane Doe is far from over. On July 13, DCF ordered
that Jane be moved to the CT Juvenile Training School, a locked
facility for delinquent boys. DCF claims this happened as a result of
an altercation with other girls at the Pueblo unit (the girls'
facility Jane was transferred to when released from prison), but all
the girls were involved in the fight to the same degree - yet only
Jane was punished by being transferred to a boys' facility. DCF is
responding to Jane's status as an outspoken survivor of abuse at their
hands and using her gender identity to punish her. The transfer
occurred without her lawyers being notified, in the middle of the
night. It occurred in spite of the original placement ruling by a
judge, who articulated explicitly that Jane is NOT to go to CJTS. Jane
feels unsafe and miserable, and her mental health is deteriorating.

We urge all of Jane's supporters to converge on DCF headquarters and
demand real #JusticeForJane. We are demanding that Jane be released
from CJTS immediately, and that DCF Commissioner Katz - who has proven
time and again to only care about her own reputation and not the basic
dignity and safety of the most vulnerable kids in her care - be FIRED.
We are continuing to demand the repeal of statute 17a-12, which
allowed for Jane's imprisonment and likely her illegal transfer to
CJTS.

Join us! Car pools can be arranged; communicate on this page if you
want to take part in that.
